We’re big on warmth, low on fussiness: stripped wood floors, high bar stools, painted brickwork and comfy leather banquettes. Sup your pint beside our polished-oak bar or tuck yourself away in the Snug behind the frosted glass partition. You can hear yourself talk, concentrate on the crossword or nod off quietly in the corner.To help keep everyone safe, our teams will continue to wear face masks and we'd love you to do the same when nentering and moving around the pub and dining room.Thank you for your continued support and understanding and we look forward to seeing you.

    Our first time here, very impressed. Friendly and helpful people working here, we had pate then cottage pie finishing off with the apple and raspberry crumble. All delicious, presented perfectly and the single portions of cottage pie in square cast iron skillets was areally nice touch. We will definitely be back.

    Majority of our food was excellent. We ordered 2 burgers, steak pie and 2 kids Sunday lunches. Chicken dinner was delicious, but the beef dinner was tough. If you like sky sports, then it’s the ideal place to watch the footy.
